Using the M.O.B. to configure a VMware Tools Repository.

1. Launch a browser and point to the fully qualified name of your vcenter followed by /mob and log into the vcenter server using administrator@vsphere.local and your current password.

2. Once you log into the vcenter server, click on the word content.

3. Once you click on content, this is what you expect to see.

4. Press Control F and search for "datacenter". Click on the name "group-dX" next to (datacenters)

5. Click on the word datacenter-X next to the name of your datacenter (sa-datacenter)

6. Press Control F and type "host". Click on the word group-hX next to (host)

7. If your host is in a cluster, do a search for "domain" and click on the domain -cX next to your cluster (sa-production-01)

9. Do a search for "productLocker" and click on UpdateProductLocerLocation Task.
